I can't figure this one out. There's a Belken USB->Ethernet adapter as eth2 on my server. After a reboot it doesn't communicate with anything ever though it's up: ipaddress is 68.15.6.136 gateway is 68.15.6.129 # ifconfig eth2 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:1B:00:52:BF inet addr:68.15.6.136 Bcast:68.15.6.191 Mask:255.255.255.192 inet6 addr: fe80::205:1bff:fe00:52bf/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1536 Metric:1 RX packets:208 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:13540 (13.2 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) it can ping itself: # ping 68.15.6.136 PING 68.15.6.136 (68.15.6.136) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 68.15.6.136: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.056 ms 64 bytes from 68.15.6.136: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.021 ms --- 68.15.6.136 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.021/0.038/0.056/0.018 ms, pipe 2 can't ping the gateway: # ping 68.15.6.129 PING 68.15.6.129 (68.15.6.129) 56(84) bytes of data.

RFI: recommendation for temperature monitoring
by Kari Salovaara 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Good morning gurus, I would like to get recommendation for monitoring temperature for cpu using Asus P5WD2 motherboard and Intel D 820. I my installation has CPU cooling system changed from Intel bulk to Zalman CNPS9500 and it works. Normal Intel cooling system is not enough and is overheating cpu quite badly. Unfortunately Zalman has to be controlled (rpms) manually and thus I would like to see the temperature. Which program is doing well this task ? Regards, Kari

/dev/console not getting created...
by James Olin Oden 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hi All, I've been trying to put together a one off CentOS 4 based distro, and I ran into some trouble. First off just so you know we've been doing this with CentOS 3 and with RedHat 9 before that, so the inexperience is only with the delta between CentOS 3 and CentOS 4 (and RHEL 3 and RHEL 4 by extension). Anyway, the problem is that for some reason /dev/console is not getting created. We get completely through the installation, in what looks like a successful manner, but when we reboot at the point init would come up with see nothing at all, and there it sits. I went through many contortions including including using bash as init and then starting init manually with strace turned on. This all lead to the conclusion that for some reason init was not getting a console. I happened to look in the dev directory between a normal minimal install of CentOS 4 and our "minimal install" and noticed there was no /dev/console. I manually added this and now the system boots fine. For now I've added the creation of /dev/console to the end of the kickstart's %post, which works, but does anyone have any ideas why its not being created? Thanks...james

Missing Dependency problem while upgraing a pure (?) whitebox 4 install to Centos 4.2
by Sanjay Arora 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hi all I don't have the full Centos 4 CD distro, only the minimal server one (single CD). I use whitebox 4 for desktop installs and then change the necessary files whitebox-release, diskdumputils, yum etc. & change it to centos...never had a problem. This time however, I don't know why, but I chose the "Everything" option in the package selection dialog during install. Post installation, I changed the server to centos, by changing the appropriate files & installed postgreSQL 8.1 from local HDD using yum localinstall option...it installed perfectly. Then I gave a yum -y update command & went to sleep...& found the errors below in the morning. I agree that it is not a centos problem...but whitebox too is a RHEL derived OS and quite strict about remaining with the upstream. One doubt I have is that maybe I'm mistaken & the fresh install was not a fresh install after all (done in the middle of night with drooping eyes)...the earlier install on this system was centos 4.2 with centos extras & dag repo enabled and I may have chosen not to format the system & keep data or maybe the upgrade method. Can someone look at the files below & tell me these are from out of centos 4.2 repo and confirm the above doubt (another prob is that the rpm database should have been recreated on fresh install & there should be an upgrade log file in my root from anaconda...not there) Comments? Also, how do I downgrade packages using yum to get out of this dependency hell? Can I do it with one yum command or do I have to uninstall packages creating problems one by one? Sanjay.

For the interested, I've been debugging a similar problem all day yesterday. In my case it's not a transparent proxy, but it's a proxy that for some awful reason doesn't seem to want to support byte-ranges. Python urlgrabber doesn't seem to handle asking for a byte range and getting back the whole file, so it chucks the whole rpm to disk where yum is expecting just the header. So a possible solution is to fix your proxy to handle byte-ranges (assuming that's the problem - a packet sniff of the transaction should show it up pretty quickly, if the response that comes back is a HTTP 200 rather than a HTTP 206) HTH, Craig Miskell ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from AgResearch Limited is intended only for the persons or entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
